(Musik an) Week 15 – The Calm Before the Storm 😏 Nach den Tagen Urlaub war ich ehrlich gesagt ziemlich gespannt. Ausgerechnet drei Tage vor meiner Rückkehr verabschiedete sich auch noch die Hobbit Cam. 😅 Keine Bilder mehr, keine Kontrolle – nur die Klimadaten und das Vertrauen in meine gießvertretung. Als ich schließlich die Tür geöffnet habe, war mein erster Gedanke nur: “WTF… 😳😏” Die Laughing Buddha hat die Zeit genutzt. Nicht, um völlig außer Kontrolle zu wachsen, sondern um sich in aller Ruhe zu einem dichten, kräftigen SCROG zu entwickeln. Die Bewässerung hat hervorragend funktioniert, das Klima war stabil und die Pflanze sah nach dem Urlaub gesünder aus, als ich es mir erhofft hatte. Heute wurde der Grow auf die nächste Phase vorbereitet. Zuerst wurden die 81 Triebspitzen gleichmäßig über das Netz verteilt. Ja, ich habe tatsächlich nachgezählt… exakt 81 Spitzen. 🤣 Mein kleines Ziel „72 Tops für 720 Watt“ scheint tatsächlich Realität zu werden. Anschließend folgte der bisher größte Eingriff des gesamten Grows. Unterhalb des ersten Netzes wurde komplett gelollipoppt und die Pflanze zusätzlich stark ausgelichtet, damit Licht und vor allem Luft ungehindert durch das Blätterdach zirkulieren können. Von unten betrachtet sieht die Buddha inzwischen eher wie ein kleiner Baum aus – kräftige Hauptäste, saubere Verzweigungen und ein stabiles Gerüst, das später hoffentlich dutzende schwere Colas tragen wird. Nachdem alles ausgelichtet und neu verteilt war, habe ich die obere Erdschicht vorsichtig aufgelockert und nach Herstellerangabe Green House Feeding BioBloom eingearbeitet. Anschließend wurde mit BioEnhancer angegossen, damit die Bodenbiologie aktiviert wird und die organischen Nährstoffe in den nächsten Tagen in Ruhe arbeiten können. Jetzt bekommt die Buddha erst einmal ein kleines Wellnessprogramm. 🌿 Keine weiteren großen Eingriffe, nur Wasser, stabile Klimabedingungen und Zeit, sich vollständig von der Entlaubung zu erholen. Wenn alles weiterhin so läuft wie geplant, wird nächsten Donnerstag auf 12/12 umgestellt. Dann beginnt endlich die Blütephase. Ich bin unglaublich gespannt, wie sich die Laughing Buddha im Stretch verhält. Die Internodien sind bisher angenehm kurz geblieben, wodurch die Chancen auf lange, aber trotzdem schön kompakte Colas ziemlich gut aussehen. Sollte sie jetzt noch das zweite Netz sauber ausfüllen, könnte das genau die Blütenwand werden, die ich mir von Anfang an vorgestellt habe. Der Veg-Teil ist damit fast abgeschlossen… jetzt beginnt bald der wirklich spannende Teil. 😎🌿🚀

Week 7 Flower- Day 51 flw / Day 107 of cycle I am jealous about jealousy 😅🤣 She is fattening up nicely and seems to be one of the plants I will harvest for last by her appearance.. She is smelling nicely, I still yet to describe that smell but I am liking what I am seeing… I fed her last time with fertilizer this week and next time I will start giving her only water. She will probably be the second yielding plant from this run.. even though it will be a nice one. Let’s gooo

Another week is coming to an end, everything is fine with this girl, this one is a bit more rushed, judging by the color of the trichomes, for me it would be at the ideal point. I'm going to start watering with water and in the last week I'll do the flush with Cleanse. 💪✌️🌿

So where I live we had a really bad storm it had knocked out my power for a full 24 hrs so I had to give them some extra attention to insure there was no mold or any pest with no fan rotation. Then I also had to put them back on there proper timer to get things back on a roll so far so good they still look and smell amazing wish me luck

9.26 - The Dumpster Queens is really starting to stank good. Very diesel and earthy! The buds are still putting on weight and are dense, very little squish or give when I give em a moderate pinch. I am imagining I have ~3 weeks left before chop.

15.06.25. Day 46. Just a reminder that 2 seedlings died at start of grow. Big plant is drinking alot of water, I had to top up her reservoir with about 2 liters of water on 2 sperate occasions. High day time temperatures lately. Approximately 34°C. 16.06.25. Day 47 Changed out reservoir on small plant.

Another week done. The plant is now touching the walls on 3 out of 4 sides. One side branch is still strangely short. The plant isn’t very symmetrical in general though. I will let it grow for another week and then start the flower. Size is still an issue, however I’m now at a point where the plant certainly covers a larger area than previous plants. So maybe my bad feeling about the size is just about how the plant looks like in its bigger pot. I still decided not to do any further toppings to keep the stress low. Let’s just hope for the best and stay tuned.

La segunda semana fue bien, a las plantas que estiraban más les causé Low Stress para mantener una altura igualada. De las 3 variedades que tengo, es la que antes ha mostrado las preflores. Un error vuelvo a repetir ha sido no tener medidor de EC-PH y otro ha sido el haberme excedido con los s riegos. Conecto pronto el CO2 a 630ppm par ver si así logro obtener un buen estiramiento esta semana. 📅 Día 15: 🔹 Cambio de lugar al haber quitado algún macho de otra variedad. 📅 Día 16: 🔹 Riego según la tabla de nutrientes. Conecto CO2 a 700ppm. 📅 Día 17 : 🔹 Low Stress para que dé más luz a las ramas bajas y tengan más espacio para desarrollar. No quito hojas ya que creo que les quitas los paneles que las alimenta. El riego de ayer las sentó muy bien y están bebiendo el agua rápido por fin. 📅 Día 18:🔹 Descanso, puntualizar que he activado el CO2 a 730ppm y decir que se han bebido todo el agua, mañana toca riego. 📅 Día 19: 🔹Riego según la tabla de nutrientes. La EC me dio 2000 y el pH 6.3

Started with LST and did extreme defoliation. Plants were pretty healthy so they will recover soon.

Grow Report — Week 6 From Seed (12/12 From Seed · Early Flower / Week 2 Flowering Transition) Quick Recap (for new joiners) This is a 12/12-from-seed run, now entering Week 6 from seed, which we can comfortably call early flower / second week of flowering transition — though we don’t obsess over labels. We follow the plants, not the calendar. Two plants, two approaches: • Plant A: Metal clips + harder structural training, with a short 18/6 period earlier on, plus LST • Plant B: Pure 12/12 from seed, gentle LST and leaf positioning only Both plants are now fully in flower mode, no doubt about it, just expressing it differently, which is expected and welcomed. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update • Day temperature: ~28°C (successfully raised) • Humidity: ~65% Even though it’s still a bit cold outside, increasing plant mass, higher lighting intensity, and added under-canopy lighting have turned the tent itself into a stronger and more stable heat source. This allowed us to stabilize conditions naturally, without forcing anything — exactly how we like it. Lighting & Atmosphere • PPFD: ~600–850 (depending on plant size and position) • CO₂: ~900 ppm Airflow • Unchanged and dialed in • Vortex extraction • Cross-winds with multiple fans • Constant, gentle movement across the canopy The goal remains the same: fresh air, no stress, no stagnation. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Strategy This week marks an important and intentional nutritional transition. • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 From this point forward, all feedings will be pH 6.0 and above. Why? As flowering progresses, nutrient uptake priorities shift. A slightly higher pH improves the availability of key elements needed for bloom development, and the plants are clearly asking for it. Nutrient Change • Introduced: Terra Bloom — 5 ml/L • Removed: Terra Grow This switch is happening now, not earlier, because the plants have clearly entered the flowering transition. No rush, no shock — just listening to plant signals and responding accordingly. The current Plagron-based approach continues to perform exceptionally well, and plant response has been outstanding so far. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Behavior & Training Notes Both girls are looking amazing, each in their own way. • The metal-clip + harder-trained plant looks structured, composed, and confident • The pure LST plant is expressive, vigorous, and stretching beautifully The plant that experienced a short 18/6 period is currently smaller, noticeably so — which is interesting and worth observing. Not better, not worse — just different. Different light histories, different training styles, different expressions. This is exactly why side-by-side approaches are so valuable. Both plants are: • Healthy • Actively flowering • Responding positively to the environment and nutrition Plant A — Canopy Management Note This was also the week where a light, selective defoliation was performed on Plant A to open the canopy slightly and improve light penetration. She is clearly more advanced in flower development, visually closer to what would normally be considered around day 21 of flowering, and the timing felt right. Only larger, blocking leaves were removed — no stripping, no stress — just enough to: • Improve airflow • Expose developing flower sites • Support her more advanced flowering pace The plant responded calmly and confidently, confirming that the intervention was well-timed and appropriate. They’ve also been in and out of the studio for photos — and they handled it like champions. The in/out space continues to work perfectly. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and What Not to Expect) What to expect: • Continued flower set and structural definition • Stretch management through positioning, not force • Gradual increase in flower density as nutrition settles in What NOT to expect: • No aggressive defoliation • No forced stress techniques • No chasing numbers just for the sake of it This run is about clarity, observation, and respect for plant rhythm. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words A big thank you to: • New joiners discovering this run • Old souls following along quietly • The curious, the critical, the lovers, the haters • Sponsors, supporters, and the wider community Every set of eyes matters. Every perspective adds value. More updates soon — this was Update 1, and we’ll be back after more time with the girls.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.
